With proposals for a formalized European Union (EU) registered traveler program and entry/exit system as part of its “smart borders” initiative, and the United States is considering revisions to existing immigration processes and requirements, a fundamental shift in the approach to border management is taking place across the world.
Background
Proposed changes in border management processes offer a unique opportunity for border agencies to not only improve the experience of the vast majority of travelers and simplify life for the frequent flyer, but also to focus security efforts on the small minority of travelers who pose a risk or to whom entry or exit from a particular country should not be permitted. By fully exploiting the benefits of new border management technologies, border agencies can gain a consistency and completeness in border management, better support immigration programs and revitalize the traveler experience.
